President Donald Trump is defiantly holding the line on his zero-tolerance policy toward illegal immigrants, urging Democratic lawmakers to give in and accept his legislative immigration demands.

The Trump administration sought to blame Congress for the new policy of separating some families who arrive at the U.S. southern border, and it said only lawmakers could change that policy as part of a broader immigration overhaul, but Republicans and Democrats remained far apart on any deal.
